Ah beaten to it. I am working on something similar targeted at .NET platform. Definitely hate how bulky CMS's have become. I wouldn't call these CMSes either. I'd rather call them Content Management Platforms.

I started then gave up on a .NET CMS installed via a nuget package. Definitely an area where the .NET tools/libraries are lacking.

This is kinda the direction i am going to, while creating sites for clients and a cms for them (iterating on it, every website). Your layout is much nicer though :P

PS. I also like the CMS's that use Blocks for creating a website, eg. what https://buildwithcraft.com/ is doing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's demanding a email for username instead of admin:admin? Or am I supposed to sign up...

First you get your terminal.com account (they give you $10 of free credit) and them just start a new instance of that terminal. Once you get it running you will will see the admin panel in the embedded browser or just point yours to -80.terminal.com/cockpit/" rel="nofollow">http:// -80.terminal.com/cockpit/

I get 502 bad gateway after starting the snapshot. Am I missing something?

edit - Do this after starting the snapshot:

chown www-data:www-data /var/run/php5-*

Was just a permissions issue.

Have you got this up on GitHub? Sounds like something I'd enjoy contributing to

It looks pretty.

I just wish someone would build a decent CMS on top of silex/symfony/laravel, rather than implement their own framework to drive their CMS, such as in this case (Lime?!).

I want all the extensibility of a fully tested framework but with some batteries included. Pagekit looks as though this could cover my needs.

Sure, but you spent so much effort and time making the beautiful landing page and documentation, you might as well have a demo. I can't be the only person too "lazy" to download, and run it.

thanks, I'll consider it!

How about creating a docker container? http://docker.io This would actually add the benefit of easy evaluation, while also helping us to jumpstart a project with cockpit.

Cockpit is about simplicity. I like it to be lightweight and with a minimum of overhead ... but I also understand you arguments. It's all a matter of taste :)
